After we get pool level on patio blocks and we get walls up then sand is dumped. Does that sand that is inside the pool need to be level or just smoothed and raked out? We are using about 2.5 inches of sand on our pool floor so it's very hilly. Hubby and my dad think we need it to be level the sand but I thought it just needed to be smoothed and tamped and also do the 7" cove all the way around.
